Good points and great alternative options for those connections. I noticed the grounding point up there too but decided to go with the instructions given.

I have a 2-pole lift and been lifting this passat a dozen times already, where exactly is this under bonnet coupling point located?
I routed the new cable along the existing one from where I could track it so it doesn't affect the possible bumper removal.

So I finally got my hands to vcp and uploaded the afs_with_mdf - parameters to the module 55, and the DLA is now 100% functioning as it is supposed to.
Did some extensive highway testing last night and didn't receive a single flash.
So I consider this retrofit project finished. A great success and a source of information for those in doubt with these early B8 models.

Here is a video of the proper startup sequence when the 55 module 'knows' to activate the correct position of the cylindrical mask for the DLA feature.
Without this, your lights won't probably work the way they're supposed to.

And as stated many times on this thread, on some particular early Passat B8 models (and for example the aforementioned Arteon MY18 with multifunction module 4B), OR just some particular headlight range modules you need to upload the correct parameter set (via vcp) to make them lights do their magic correctly.

Can anybody help me with the fault code at module 5 ?
I managed to make it appear when trying some desperate long codings, which if I remember correctly were not even done to that module.
Everything else is reverted back to as they were, except the above codings and adaptations that are part of this retrofit.

The result is not 100% perfect yet, because I have none of the lane assist related menus in infotainment, AND I have some wrong menus there, so there is still something to do.
It doesn't really matter because you just activate the lane assist via MFD and everything is working fine.

Activating these 2 adaptations makes the lane assist and adaptive lane guidance appear correctly in the car driver assist menu, then you can play between the drunk driving mode and the very nicely working active mode, AND you get to select from the three different warning levels. Selecting "low" lets you rest your hands for about 20 seconds before the car guides you to take over the steering.

Just three questions Symb:
Did you have to unplug 12v battery before pluging all wires?
How did you plug +12v on fuse table? In my KUFATEC notice it's just written "Now in the fuse box connect the wire in the SC32 (ignition plus), fig5. with a very little picture of an mk7 golf...
On coupling point, is it hard to plug both sides of brown connector for ACC and camera wires? I don't see it on your excellent job?
